„Dr. Jones was one of the more popular professors at IE Business School and he was certainly one of my favorites during the course of my MBA. He possesses what I find to be the very rare combination of an academic knowledge of politics and business as well as real life experience in the business world. The class that I took with him -- Business Government and Society -- was both very well structured and presented and the cases we discussed where exciting and relevant. What made Dr. Jones especially appreciated was his witty and intelligent delivery of course material using the case method and his conviviality. I think I can speak for most of my classmates when I say I wish we had more professors like Milo.”

L’IDENTITÉ ET LA CULTURE ORGANISATIONNELLE COMME SOURCES DE LA SURPRISE STRATÉGIQUE : LES LEÇONS DES ÉCHECS DE LA CIA
GÉRER ET COMPRENDRE, N° 116
Set up in 1947 to prevent another Pearl Harbor, the CIA failed on at least four major occasions in spite of the considerable means at its disposal. How was this possible? Researchers who have studied strategic surprises have worked out explanations that, though not incompatible with each other, are unable to explain the full situation. Since Max Weber, social scientists know that regular behavior patterns are to be understood in relation to their cultural context. Because social facts are…
Set up in 1947 to prevent another Pearl Harbor, the CIA failed on at least four major occasions in spite of the considerable means at its disposal. How was this possible? Researchers who have studied strategic surprises have worked out explanations that, though not incompatible with each other, are unable to explain the full situation. Since Max Weber, social scientists know that regular behavior patterns are to be understood in relation to their cultural context. Because social facts are ingrained in the work of intelligence, the latter is under the sway of the organization’s identity and culture. On the basis of this initial observation, a paradigm of strategic surprises is presented that emphasizes how the internal organization of the producer of intelligence is shaped through the identity of its analysts and the traits of its organizational culture. By examining the CIA’s endogenous characteristics, we come to understand how such surprises happen.

Constructing Cassandra: Reframing Intelligence Failure at the CIA, 1947-2001
Stanford University Press
Constructing Cassandra conducts an inquiry into the intelligence failures at the CIA that resulted in four key strategic surprises experienced by the US: the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, the Iranian revolution of 1978, the collapse of the USSR in 1991, and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. While some of these events may seem distant, these surprises still play out today in US policy. Although there has been no shortage of studies exploring how intelligence failures can happen, none of the prevailing…
Constructing Cassandra conducts an inquiry into the intelligence failures at the CIA that resulted in four key strategic surprises experienced by the US: the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, the Iranian revolution of 1978, the collapse of the USSR in 1991, and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. While some of these events may seem distant, these surprises still play out today in US policy. Although there has been no shortage of studies exploring how intelligence failures can happen, none of the prevailing explanations has been able to provide a unified understanding of the phenomenon. Without that understanding, failures will happen again—with dramatic consequences.
The book brings culture and identity to the foreground to present a model of strategic surprise that focuses on the internal make-up the CIA. It also takes seriously those Cassandras who offered warnings, but were ignored. By providing this novel, unified model of strategic surprise—that links terrorist attacks to more conventional failures—this book offers the first deep and systematic exploration of the ultimate sources of the CIA's intelligence failures, and points to ways to prevent future strategic surprises.
